HMPYG.com is Helping a Farmer in Cambodia With a Loan

We’re always looking for opportunities to help the world in some way. Tem, a Cambodian woman/leader/farmer has asked for help financing a tractor for her farm.

Using the painfully slow internet we currently have in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, we were able to send a modest loan out to Tem and her team. This was made possible with the fantastic work being done by Kiva, a nonprofit aiding women around the world with capital. In addition to Tem’s loan, HMPYG has made a donation to Kiva to help support operating costs.

According to Kiva, Tem is a rice farmer from the Mondulkiri province. She has three children to provide for, and must do extra work outside the farm to make ends meet. She needs a tractor to plow rice and increase crop yield.
